1969 Suzuki T250 Hustler, 250 cc. Registration number HUM 201G. Frame number T250 13418. Engine number T250 13414. Using the Colleda marque name, Suzuki launched its first 250cc two-stroke twin in 1956 and the type would remain a fixture of the range for the next 40 years. The replacement T10 appeared in 1963 sporting, among numerous improvements, Suzuki's new 'CCI' pumped lubrication system. The next stage of development was the now classic T20 Super Six, which was marketed in the USA as the X6 Hustler. Introduced in 1965, the T20 was an entirely new design although still a 250cc parallel-twin two-stroke. The frame was now tubular and of the duplex loop type, while the gearbox offered the rider the luxury of six speeds for the first time on a road-going motorcycle. With its precise handling, good brakes, powerful motor and 90mph-plus top speed, the Super Six received rave reviews in the motorcycling press and soon established a giant-killing reputation in production machine racing. Improved T250 Hustler and disc-braked GT250 models followed but in essence the piston-ported twin altered little. Tested by Bike magazine (Autumn 1971 edition), a T250 Hustler reached an indicated 96mph and rocketed through the standing quarter-mile in 16.2 seconds, bettering the Yamaha YDS7 and BSA B25 Gold Star it was pitted against. HUM was bought as an USA import back in 1997 by John at an auto jumble and fully recommissioned it for his wives use; when first MOT'd the recorded the mileage was 16,378. It was subject to a full magazine article in the Classic Bike of May 1998. Over the years, like all of John's machines it was very well looked after, MOT'd and ridden every year and improved on whenever he felt it was required. The last MOT was at 22,311 miles in May 2017. Sold with the V5C, V5, MOT's from 1997 onwards, the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club dating certificate, a copy of the magazine article and various manuals, it should take very little to recommission this iconic Japanese 250.

1971 Suzuki TC120, 118 cc. Registration number EKH 322J. Frame number TC120 - 26271. Engine number TC120 -14571. Light and manageable off-road model when launched in 1969. The Suzuki TC120 had a conventional piston-port two-stroke engine that gave a solid 12hp @ 7500rpm. Similar in styling to the T125 'Stinger' twin. The model came with full knobbly moto-cross style tyres and was aimed mainly at the "Street Scrambler" market of North America. The 1970 model year was very similar, but had increased mid-range torque, now up to 9.5Ibs @ 5000rpm, rather than the 8.68Ibs @ 7000rpm of the 1969 model. The peak power however remained unchanged. The unusual part of this machine was the low ratio gear box, you have three high ratio gears for the street and at the turn of a lever three low ratio gears. It also has a grab bar on the front forks if you get stuck. The engine has Posi-Force lubrication which let pure oil flow directly over the engine internals. A rare find in the UK ERH was imported by Ricky Gamewell of Goole in 2009 and successfully obtained a dating certificate from the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club with a mileage of 9,075 KM, the following MOT in 2010 lists it at 9,803 KM and in 2011 at 10,199 KM. Our vendor acquired it at this time and has replaced the exhaust together with speedo for a MPH version, in 2014 the MOT mileage was 3,900 and today it has risen only by 60 miles. Sold with the V5C, dating certificate, various MOT's, parts catalogues and reviews, ERH started up first time we tried her and rode her around our yard with no issues, although we would a gentle recommissioning before letting this rare machine loose on the backlanes, which was last on the road in 2018.

1955 BSA Gold Star, sprint motorcycle 500 cc. Registration number, not registered (see text). Frame number CB32 1885. Engine number DB34 GS 603 (see text), also 66 1680. Gearbox RRT 5. Post war, BSA launched the ZB32 in 1948 at a price of £211. In order to satisfy the eligibility requirements for the Clubman's TT, over 100 machines were produced, 21 of which were entered into the 1949 350 cc junior race, a race to be dominated by Gold Stars for the next eight years. The 350CC model was followed by the 500 cc ZB34. 1953 saw the introduction of the BB series (BB32-350 cc/BB34-500 cc) with new duplex cradle frame and swinging arm rear suspension. These were followed in 1954 by the CB series with engine changes aimed primarily at the road racers. Immediate success was achieved in the Clubman's TT and this cycle of engine redesign and immediate success was repeated the following year with the DB series. Towards the end the Gold Star was only offered in scrambles or Clubman's trim. This bike has spent its life in New Zealand; the frame was consigned to Messrs Scholefield Goodman in Scramble form on the 13th January 1955 on consignment 60168 and the engine went to Messrs Cargills in Clubman form on consignment 72208 on the 10th February 1956. Our vendor bought it from a John Collins of Christchurch and it is believed he owned and raced it over a 39 year period. In its present guise it is stated to have a new barrel and piston, big valves, a 5 speed Nova gearbox, Dow forks, TLS front brake, competition magneto, belt drive and clutch. Displaying pre 63 race meet stickers it is sold with no paperwork, some spares including a spare belt and barrel and a paddock stand. Buyers should satisfy themselves over this machine as the engine number has been altered in the opinion of the cataloguer. Sold with Gold Star Owners Club dispatch book entry copy, dated 5th April 2019.
